How to do Pumpkin Paint Pouring!

Dimensional paint pouring is so much fun and so hard to plan on the finished outcome!

So much of the paint just slips off the object and leaves awesome spider web lines on these fun pumpkins.

Paint pouring pumpkins might not be cleaner than carving them, but it's a fun option to traditional carving pumpkins!

Supplies Needed for Pumpkin Paint Pouring:

• Pumpkins (plastic, foam or real)
• Plaid FolkArt Drizzle Pouring Paint
• Paper Cups
• Wax Paper
• Acrylic Craft Paint/Paint Brushes

Step 1: Prep Pumpkins

I got some plastic pumpkins and ripped the stems right out of the top of them.

I wanted to paint them a base color because the paint pouring would likely not cover every little part of them, so having a base color would help.

So I painted one teal and one pink.

This pumpkin paint pouring technique can be done on any size and shape of pumpkin.

Paint pouring is a fun way to do something different and there is no age or skill level to achieve awesome results.

Paint the base coat on the pumpkins and let them dry completely.

Set the pumpkins on a paper cup to help with the paint pour dripping. 

Place the cups on wax paper, parchment or something non stick.

If you have really large pumpkins, just set them on a non stick surface and go for it!

Step 2: Drizzle

Now it is time for the FolkArt Drizzle paint.

Paint pouring time is so much fun!

If you haven't opened your paint bottles yet, remove the protective seals and twist the lids back on so they are all ready to use.

Begin by pouring a small amount of paint into a plastic cup.

Then squeeze the next color into the cup.

This paint is designed not to mix together and turn into brown mud...so it's perfect.

Continue layering the paint in the cup.

Then begin pouring the paint from the cup onto the top of the pumpkin.

Swirl it around so you can try to get the paint on all the edges as possible.

There is a lot of pour off onto the table.

If you let the paint drippings dry, you can use them for other fun projects.

I poured some vibrant colors right on top of the pumpkins, directly from the bottles so that they would have a cool spider web look.

Then let the pumpkins dry completely.

After they dried, I cut a piece of tree branch into chunks and hot glued them on top of the plastic pumpkins as the perfect stems.

These are the perfect Halloween and Harvest decor!

I love bright and colorful crafts--and this is the perfect option from the typical spookiness of the season.

That's it!

Hope this gives you the encouragement to try pumpkin paint pouring for yourself this year!
I think you will love it.

Trust me, you'll look around at what you can pour paint all over next!

It's so fun and addicting!
